what is love?

love is unparalleled. what can replicate the feeling when that one special person finally says "Yes, of course i will (insert personal request)." maybe an around the world all-expenses-paid trip. maybe a new 360. maybe a new house. maybe one of those funky coats you see hanging in those banana republic shops. but they are, after all, maybes.

love is cheap. exactly what would some people do for a first date. a phone call? a cheal concert in some random school, followed by a simple dinner after? really it does depend. how much is one willing to give up for love? does it depend almost entirely on one's income? would a millionaire give as much for love as the beggar that goes around for alms?

love is fickle. why would anyone need to say 'i do'? is it just to give the chance to say 'i don't'? why do people's feelings change in a matter of weeks? why would a girl dump a guy without any proper reasons? is love that worthless? apparently so. love for money, no question about it money is the one people love most, ironically. and it wont even kiss you.

love is blind. remember the elite schools vs neighbourhood schools debate? why would anyone even bother to agree with it? or is it all just a farce, simply a 'oh we need to balance the equation or those who disagree with it are gna look malu'? love is blind...if it was would we even need to ask to be someone's friend? wouldn't we be loved regardless? poppycock...the stuff fairytales are made of. love is blind just so the ogre will win the hand of the princess.

love is expensive. didn't i say it was cheap? au contraite, this refers to the consequences. imagine this scenario: your girlfriend says f*** off just before your dreaded A's. what you gna do? cry? be serious. would you still be able to study? what would you rely on after that? your cca? puhleez. would you allow love to ruin your future? or would you just play it safe and stay away from it all your life?

love is excessive. do you need sex to show you love someone? do you need to cuddle, pet, kiss, put on shows of affection in public? what are shirts that say 'i'm with cupid' for? do people need to know you're going out with tom? do people need to acknowledge your relationship with jane? does anyone need to know you like the girl across the road with braces strung so tight across her teeth she looks like she's going to cry any minute?

love is impactful. one's love can drive a person to the very edge, that i have no doubt of. love with always lead you to something. love has drive, love emits passion, love generates wants and needs. but most importantly, love is the food that feeds all of us mentally, socially and physically, whether you like it or not.
